CONTINUOUS PROCESS FOR THE SYNTHESIS OF AMINE OXIDES FROM TERTIARY AMINES USING SPINNING DISK REACTORS

摘要

Disclosed is a continuous process for the oxidation of tertiary amines to provide an amine oxide composition.The process involves mixing a tertiary amine and an aqueous oxidizing agent in a spinning disk reactor and (1) diluting and/or digesting the product or (2) mixing the product in a second spinning disk reactor to provide a tertiary amine oxide having high yield and high purity.
